Sharks 2, Golden Knights 1 (2OT): Tomas Hertl delivers promised Game 7

Fun must be always, even in the middle of a double-overtime penalty kill.

Tomas Hertl brought the fun when he scored the shorthanded game-winning goal on Marc-Andre Fleury to force Game 7 in San Jose. The goal made NHL history as the first shorthanded goal scored beyond the first overtime period. Tomas had also personally promised a seventh game, so it’s very good for his health that he delivered.

The Sharks made it to the second overtime through the efforts of Martin Jones, who made 58 saves to keep the Golden Knights to only one goal in 91 minutes.
